udministrqtio exonerqtes Jordqn Leavesstudents to foot the bill for credit alert B.v Nic Gar'<:ia rtgarcZ0@nnr .edu Metro's administration has concluded its investigation and has absolved itself of any blame regarding a stolen laptop that may contain oersonal identiffcation information of 93,000-cunent and former students.

"We are not the perpetrator of this crime," Metro hesident Stephen Jordan said during a March 9 public meeting.

Now, Meho's administration will begin to reexamine, write and implement new policy to make sure a similar sihration does not happen again.

"In the interirn, no shrdiesare to be done regarding Social Security nurnbers (or other sensitive data). without my explicit approval,"Jordan said.

Jordan said Metro's third-party investigation tearn,BusinessControls,Inc., has found that the work done by Associate Daector of Admissions and Data Management Daniel Parks,the employee who had possessionof the laptop'when it was s0olen did not violate any Metro policies or state or federal law by not deleting a ffle with Metro shrdent infomiation or using the informafion from the project outside the scope of the TitJe III grant he had been working on.

Because of this, "Metro has made the decision, that at this time, we will not pay for dubide extended credit monitoring services,lJordan said.

Despite it all, Meho officials still "strongly encourage" stldents to contact a creditreporting agency and put a 90day alert on accounts free of charge. Students may buy an extended 9Gday alert if they wish to.

Letters will be mailed out this week to all students,past and crirrenl who are believed to have been on the list Those students would include anyone enrolled in classes at Meho from the Fdl 1996 semesterto the Summer 2005 semester.

Jordan said Parks had permission from his supervisor, thendaector of admissions William Hathawav{'la"rk and associatâ&#x201A;Źvice president of acad'emlc affain David Conde to use the research published in a Title Itr Grant foq a project in his master'sprogram at UCD.

Meetings are informative in naurre, but their last meeting turned into a healed de. bare about Israel and Palestine.

"Iast rnondr, it got pretty heated" mid Ofa Ort, wife of the rabbi who heads the organization.

The word uchabad" is a Hebrew acronyrn for wisdom, comprehension and knowledge. The philosophy teachesJews to stmctue their lives arotmd those *uee prin-

ciples.

"If people are interested in leaming more about their own religion we will teach them,o Ort said. "We're not trying to convert anybody."

The Chabad club wanb to bringJewish students on ca.rnpustogether and, in some cases,teach them about thea Jewish identitv.

Chabad is an intellechral approach to understdn:dingspirituality, founded by Rabbi Shneur Z,alman of Liadi, lot long after the inception of Hasidisrn. The philosophy is based orr the teachings oJ seven rabbis.

This group also believes allJers are one "regardlessofbackground, observanceor af-

filia.tion," according to the Website chabad. org. They will, howeveq answer questions about Judaism from nonJewish surdents in their dasses and when they are doing outreach on ca.slpus.

Chabad is an ofthoot of the HasidicJ* daism founded by Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer during the 174& in Eastem huope. He and his followen believed theJewish retigion had become too scholarly and lost the capacity for spiritual joy. Religious ecstasy is more impofiant in Hasidism than religious law.

Representatives of Chabad a.t Auraria can be found at a table by the flapole every Wednesday aftemoon from about.l:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Their goal is to get the message

eorrie diesforpeacein GazaStrip March of 2003 was a difficult month to lirie througb. The U.S. invasion of haq was becoming a reality, forcing activisb like myself to recognize tha! while we had spirit attempting to stop the war, we failed, March 166 of 2003. in the midst of this darkness,I fomd a gleam of decency. On a Democracy Now! newscasl I found the story of a senior at Evergreen StareCollege by the name of Rachel Corrie, living in Palestine's Gaza Strip as a human righc activis! one of the most important things a U.S. citizen can do f6r this world I did not know about Corrie until the last day of her life. On March 16, Corrie caught-news that a pharrrracists home was up for demoliton by the Israeli Deferse Forces. Corrie tried to stoD that She was wearing bright orange and spealing through a megqrhone. The &iver of the bulldozer ran her over. Corrie died from severe chest and skull injuries . Reading the slory of Corrie, her passion and her sacriffce, I found a sign that there was still good in the world. I was pushed to redeffne what action truly is. I spent the months leading up to the war leading chants

at the campus flagpole. Corrie not only op posed occupation and invasion, she went to direcdy serve those most a.ffected by iL She was making revolutionary and compas. sionate change. For this, she lost her life and changedthe lives of millions.

You probably didn't hear this story as the U.S. media ignored iL. You probably didn't _know that dre bulldozer that murdered Corrie. was made and paid for by the United States. or that its driver was never charged for killing her. fhe story of eonie has relied solely dn people and independent media to retell it.

This ffght continr,resto this day.

This month, the third annivenary of her death, the B-ritlstrplay, "My Name ls Rachel Corrie," comprised of Corrie's writing from drildhood to death, was plarmed to come to _ the U.S. However, the play's premier was "postponed indefinitef by the New York Theahe Company due to political -conha versy strrrounding the production.

Corrie made her joumey guided by principles of humanity, rather than allqgiances to ideologies. Should the theakical presentation of her writings be performed in the U.S.,

ZOEWILLTAMS s,illianz@msd.eda any audience member would see this.

U.S. citizens must recognize that human rights and protection of them are a pohucal issue in this world, a subiect up fof debate, rather than the foundation of our lives. Con rie refused to accept this and fought with amazing strength to change that paradigrn.

We must honor the work of Corrie. We must leam her story and qpread ig since our media and even our arts refuse to do so.

Please,go to her memorial Web site, www. rachelcorrie.org and read about her life. Pass it on to friends. Do the work our information and creative oudets refuse to do. It ls the least we can do to right this wrong.

THE METROPOLITAN o MARCH 1

Oops,he did ir again ff Governor Owens needed a way to shoot himself in the foot ag'ainbefore his tumultuous term comes to an end, he found it last week when he prematurely oflered up his opinion about suspended teacher Jay Bennish. In early February, an Overland High School sbrdent taped Bennish's remarks comparing hesident Bush to Hider.

Bermish.after severaldays ofsuspension, has been allowed to keep his job, with the understanding that he will obsewe all rules of conduct conceming controversial material.

The absolution of Bennish, however, only served to compound Owens' faux pas.

His houble began when, according to Tlu DenoerPwt, the govemor appeared on "The Mike Rosen Show" and "praised" the Overland shrden! saying *The teenager has been unfairly targeted for ridicule." The tâ&#x201A;Źenager in question, Sean Allen, has been threatened by classmatesand will not be re tuming to Overland. Owens also said that Bennish would have to "defend himself to the people that pay his salary." Guilty before proven innocen! elr" govemor?

(A side note: this episode begins to reveal my long-held theory that Owens has been carrying on an uffequited love affatu with Bush-like a geek falling for the pnom queen-zuld it tears him up inside to see Bush slighted, however aloof a lover he might remain.)

Owens' radio appearancemight have re mained relatively benign if it hadn't been for the fact that later that weeh when asked for his feelings on the right to fiee speech in the classroom, kesident Bush struck a dramatically different tone. While ffelding questions from members of the Naiional Newqraper Associalioq an event covered by CSPAN, Bush said, "I think people should be allowed to criticize me all they wanL and they do."

Laughter resounded tlroughout the room at what was one of several unexpected presidential quips. 'There's some certain basic

Their tap list includes mpiad of the Emerald Isle's brews, such as Smithwick's kish AIe, Harp Lager, Murphy's Red, Murphy's Stout and Guinness.

Every draught beer except the PabstBlue Ribbon runs at $4, making the Rover an ideal location to celebrate the alcoholic side of St. Pahick's Day. The March 17 celebration will tout Irish step dancers.live music and an alldav party with doon opening early.

The pub's owner, Alan O'Gorman is a genuine .Paddy" (meaning he's from heland,) His origins are mirrored in the authentic nature of the planned celebra[on. When aske-dif green beer will be thrown into the mix on St. Patrick's Day, a waihess at the Rover said since it's not a tradition in lreland, green beer might be absenl Along with the hish brews that aren't green, The Irish Rover Pub serves authentic dishes such as an intriguing appetizer called the 'The Ploughman's Lunch" ($5.95.)This starterconsistsof Dublin ham, Irish cheddar,red onions and Bransbn pi&le served with toasted Irish bread.

Restaurant Shamrock and Bar 1635 Court Place St. Pary's Day is a holiday steeped in kish tadition. From Irish beer, to Irish whiskey, to hish cofiee and the common kish staple of comed beef and cabbage, few restaurantshave as much to offer the once-a-yearhishrnan than Dufly's Shamrock restaurant and bar.

"What makes us so popular on Sr Pa-tfy'sDay is that we have Irish step dancers, the Budweiser Irish Clan and the bapipers," said 2Gyear bartender veteran Johnny Natrah. "We have green beer, if drads what you're after, and a nice crowd that's been coming in for 35 years."

Dufr's is arguably the most taditional Irish establishment in the city, gracing Denver's downtown since Bemard Du$' opened the joint in the 1950s.

Another draw to Du$'s is a certain bond that is becoming harder to ffnd in aendy, quick-paced pubs with little character and lob of clidr6s. Three of Du$'s bartenders have more than 60 years of combined experience.

"The camaraderie between the patons and the bartenders is just so strong' manager Todd Knutowits said. "There's just such a past with everybody that it's Iike everybody'sold friendswhen they come here."

In 19'63,Josephl,ombardi moved'to Denver from Montana and purchased t]re restaurant from the original owner, Bemard DuS. Iornbardi was satisffedto build upon the radition Dutry had established. l,ombardi's sons, Ken and Franlq took over the restaurant when their fafher .died in 1969ald 6ey qroved the restartrrnt to its current location at 1635 Court Duffyts

For those looking for the best dea.l,"Happy Hour" is from 3 to 7 p.m. MondaySahrday a,ndall day Sunday with $3 pints, wells and wines.

Of the 12 beers on tap, l1 are imported, wiih the English Boddington's Ale being one of the more interesting. It has a light golden color, with a thick milk-like texh-re. Boddington's is extremely smooth going down, with none of that hoppy bitter-beer aftertaste.

It would seem one couldn't go wrong in patronizing a bar that is kept impeccably tidy on this part of Broadway. Still, the ambiance suffers from an overly manufach:red feel. Everything fiom the bookshelves holding randonrly-stackedvintage tomes to the comorate 'Touch Tunes" iukebox makes the atnosphere feel lesslike a public house (the origin of the word i'pub") and more franchis^eready.

As a personal and endearing quir\ the Rover Pub offers pub drink cards at dre bar. Beyond the standard information, it can come in handy as a communication tool between patron and bar tender. The white card states,in green letters, "Gone To Pee. kave My Drink Alone.n The Rover Pub's hours are 3:00 p.m. to close MondaySunday and the kitchen closesa.t2:00 p.m.

Unfortunately, the parking in the area is on metered sheets,but is free after 6:00 p.m. Monday-Saturday and all day Sunday.

-Yvoflo m ttle oolgamry Sreen Dow ues and Ine neon srgns Duzang Inelr dium, Famous for Irish Coffee," there is nothing flashy or overly reffned about Du$'s.

Instead, the sta.ffand the surroundings have an antique style that is hard to come by.

"It s kind of a landmark in the city," Knutowits said. "It s probably one of the last neighborhood bars in this area. It's definitely a dying breed.'

Du&'s claims to have the longest bar in Denver. Until a pahon sits at one end of the 72-foot bar and bies to make out the faces siting a.tthe other end, its magnibrde can be rmderappreciated.

Perhapsthe most ath-activeelement of Du$'s food menu is a variety of reasonably priced food. DuS's is one of the few places where a hungry paton can still get a meal and a beer for under ten bucks until 1:30 a.m. Those who show up be tween 3 p.m. and 6:30p.m. get two beersfor the price of one on the first round.

The holiday itself encourageslibations and fun, but beware of partaking in too much of either.

Everyone'sa bit hish on March 17. People wear green to avoid getting pinched and go down to the local pub to enjoy a Guinness. But rvhat is the origin of Sr Pa.h:ick'sDay? Saint Patick is palron saint of Ireland. but he is also the patron saint of Nigeria, engineers and excluded people.

He was bom Maewyn Succat in 387 A.D. There is debate on where he was born, but most place his birth in Kilpatrick, Scotland.

During his teenage years, Succat was kidnapped by lrish pirates and sold ino slavery. It was during these years as a slave that strengthened his faith. His master was a druidic high priest and Succat leamed the Celtic language and the custom of the Druids.

At 22, he claimed to hear the voice of God and escaped.Succatmade his way to a monastery in Auxerre, France. He spent the next 12 yea-rstraining to become a priest and adopted the name Pakick. After hearing voices that begged him to rehm to heland one night, he traveled back to become one of its ffrst Christian missionaries in the winter of 433.

For the next 30 years. Pabick and his disciples haveled throughout Ireland. They constructed churches ald monasteries while converting the population. Their successcame from assinilating the Celtic beliefs into thea own.

Patrick died on March 17 in either 461 or 493 and the date became the day of his feast.

Today SL Pao:ick's Day is recomized as a Iegal holiday in lreland, Moneerrat,-lrlew{oundland ard Labrador. It is celebrated all over the world by Irish and non-kish alike. Parades and festivites are held in areaswith large hish populations. Many objects and symbols are associated witl the holiday.

The four-leaf clover is a symbol of luck, perhaps becauseof its rarity. Each leaf representsa different quality; the first is hope, the second is faith, the third is love and the fourth is luck.

The Blarney Stone is a block of limestone that was built into Blamey Castle near Cork, Ireland. kgend says an old woman cast a spell on the stone after a king saved her from drowning.

From then on, those who kiss the stone are imbued with "the gift of gab," or an ability to speak eloquently. In order to kiss the stone, one must lean backward and kiss it upsidedown.

The holiday falls in the middle of the l,ent sezrson,a time in which many Christians practice fasting for the 40 days between Mardi Gras and Easter.Traditionally in Ireland, people may break their fast during SL Patick's Day. - Joe edu

AUTHORPROFILE

A survivor's tqle power Metro olumn ond outhor explores illness, regenerotive ofrecovery '

By Nicole Queen nqueen@mscd.edu

Ifs hard to imagine waking up one dan only to realize your body and life as you know it will never be the same-thal you will be without a part of yourself for thd rest of your life. Even more rmimaginable is the prospect of living through a lifethreatening u:alma lke cancer, having a part of your body removed, and living with the fear of it all coming back and being glad or even celebratory.

For Meho alumna and campus language t-rtor, konore Dvorhn, there was no need to 'imagine" those possibilities - for her, it was a reality. She w'alls her readers through this epiphany in her boolq "Why fm Glad I IIad Breast Gncer," published in 20Ci5.

Dvorkin discovered she had breast can: cer in 1997 after she visited the Auraxia Hrhlth C,enterand underwent a biopqz She was faced with the decision of going thmugh chernotherapn radialiorL and surgery to rernove only the a.ffectedpart of the breast (with the risk more cancer would show up later) in a lumpectoury or removing lhe err tke&\cast in a medectorny. Wilhout a second though! Dvorkin drose the latter.

"Did I scream? Did I cry? No, I dldn't , But my calmnesswas not due to any exbaordinary bravery on my part It came from the fact that the grim news was not really a surprise to me.' she explairs in an excerpt from the book However, the slow and painftrl recovery from the removal of a body part and how it was handled was indeed an amazing act of bravery and shength.

Dvorkin skessesto her readen that it s r norrnal to feel gdeq pain, and resentnedt afti:r experiencing a trauDa zuch as cancer, but it is possible 0omove beyond (but not forget) and learn from suwiving such an emotional and phpical feat 'I don't erpect all other breast cancer suwivors to feel the same as I did." Dvor.kin said. "I just want them to know tbat it's possible to look past the pain and fear and physical changes, to a better and happier r emotional landscape ahead' The messagein "Why Im Glad I IIad Breast Canca' b one not usuallv considered when dealing with cancer and a-masteciomy, however, it should not be overlooked. "fm not ahrap optimistic, ,but I do u-y bard to fnd the good side of most sitralions. It was the same with my cancer and mastecbmy. Yes, I sufiered, and the

"The changes on 6e inside have all been for the good. As I by to'sntrr it up: surviving cancer left rne a happier, calmer, more focused, and more appreciative person' While Dvorkin has made the best of her circumstances, she is not in denial of what the fuque may hold.

'The only thlng that sdll disU:rbs nie is the knowledge drat I could get more cancer in dre futrre and that it

could metastasize and hll me. However, there is no sign of more cancer at this poinl so I merely try to keep on with my Me, err joying each new dan taking good care of mpelfl and hoping for the best" Anyone who has experienced, or rnight have breast cancert can rest assured Dvorkin's accormts are hr from sugarcoated anecdotes, but rather, are told with complete honesty.

'I felt no hesitation about describing grim medical details, nor did I hesitate to write about zuch personal things as the pha

togaphs my husband took of my bare tono, both before and after the mastectomv. or about how our sex Me was a-ffectedby the loss of my breas!' Dvorkin said. 'Such de tails were important parls of the experience as a whole. I know they're of great interest and importance to my readers, (who) have thanked me profr:sely for my honesty."

Rather than writing the book for personaI healing and closure (Dvorkin explained that, at the time the book was written, she had pretty much completed the healing pre cess),she wanted to get her experiences out to the public.

"I felt a sUong desire !o get onto paper a sunmary of the arnazing emotional beneffs I had reaped. I wanted the summary as a sort of souvenir of all that I had passed through and leamed I wanted very much to try to help other women and their loved ones. I wanted them to undershnd how it's at least possible to consider breast cancer and mastectomy a net gain.' . "Why Im Glad I Had Breast Cancer" is available at the Auraria bookstore and was the Auraria Book Club's choice for Febru-

ary.

While most Metro students won't be heading io Mexico or some other sunny destination this Spring Break to ogle scantily-clad ladies and boys, they may find relief knowing there will be no shortage of musical hosies hitting the stagein Denver.

Emily Flaines is ho! and her band, Metric, will be playing March l9at the Bluebird Theater.

Now, before any offense is taken to, ward the use of the H-word, know she is also an amazing singer and synth artist She also happers to be pretty damn attractive.

Haines and her Canadian accompaniment provide lisleners, both dgmestic and foreign, with a ripe blend of accessiblemelodies and lengthy breakdowns.

- Metic consistsof Haynes, guitaristJimmy Shaw, bassistJosh Whstad and drummer Ioules Scon-Key. Eaynes and Shiw are also members of the Canadian indierock super group, Broken Social Scene.

Canada.has long stood as a bulwark of indierock and a bastion to the creators of said harmonies.

Thus, it should come as litile surprise to the indie scenesterswhen one of the Canadian giants steps forth tom its Norlhern slumber and the hearts of fans across ow 'twitter from more southem nation wax a anticioation.

In general, these giants tend to lumber right past Denver, and in+own sightingshave become increasingly rare. It then becomes obligation, for all dufrfirl curators of music, to attend these shows as they emerge. . nBest Metric has been nominated for a Altemative Album" Juno award for their latest effor!

Basically, it depends on where music is being played that determines its audience.

In Colorado, there are many white fans of hiphop and iaza whereas in another areas people might coruider those two genres as being exclusive to black cultrre.

That doem't make any sense,especially in America where we have the choice to make our own cultrre and choose our own lifestyle.

A white man who lives in louisiana can convert to Islam even if he has never lived in the Mddle Easr This is the same for music: any penon of any race can listen to whatever g4)e of music they can get their hands on. T-he accessibility and possibilities are endless.

So where is the diversity in music?

Should it only happen with tlie musicians, but not the fans?Fni Hendrix and Elvis hesley showed what a person with Oalent could do for music and its cultr.rreno matter what race drey are considered. Hendrix could be considered as playing for a mosdy white audience even though he was black and Elvis could be considered as playing for a mosdy black audience even though he was a white man.

Does it matte.r if the performen are a different color than the audience? Should I worry that my skin tone is darker than anyone else's at the shows I attend?

Metro's wropsinregiono seoson Northern State usesinside play to limit'Runners .

Bv Matt Gunrr guinma@mscd.edu

The Roadrtrnners' season ended in Winona Minn., m a 7257 ffrst-round NCAA Regional loss to Northem State University.

Metro finished the vear with a 2l-10 overall record.

The loss ended a season in which the 'Runners adapted to a perimeter shooting game and introduced nine new players.

"I let the gmup know how much fun I've been having" head coach Mike Dunlap said. "You dont wait to the end to tell them how much you appreciate them. I tell them a lol So, when we come in here, we come in here understanding it s all part of the game."

An underdog throughout the posbeirson.,No. 6 seed Meho was ouftnatched. in the paint by the No. 3 Wolves in a rematch of last year's opening+ound game. Northem State out-rebounded the 'Runners 37-26. "quitâ&#x201A;Ź stnply, we didn't get it done on the boards,' Dunlap said. "It's been our Achilles all year long. You can never tal<e away any credit from your opponent for do i"C t}t.g but dre disparity of rebounds was dre story of the game."

The Roadrunners' bademark styles of play showed early in the game. Mero used ib pressure defense to generate turnovers and jumped to an early I l3 lead.

The early rush was short{ived, however, and Northem Shte quickly picked up ib offense. The Wolves countered widr a 173 run of their own, .taking conhol from the 'Runners.

t

"They had the scouting report right, and &ey didn't skrp,' senior guard Drew Wil liamson said. "They played a great game."

Along with minimizing Metro's rebounding, Northem State took away the Roadrunners' ability to penebate the lane. On dte other end, the Wolves used their owrr penetration to draw fouls. i "Qur rotations were a lifrle slow today, but they did a great job sealing our big men inside, and they've.got some big bodies in there,z junior forward Michael Bahl said. "Give them all the credil becausethev sealedus great on the inside.They got posi' tioning and they made the shots."

Meto regained mo.menhim in the ffnal five minutes of the ffrst half and narrowed an I l-point lead to sbq 3C30, at dre break.

The 'Runners continued to charge inthe second half.

Babl led the way, accumulating 13 of his 18 total points in dre opening l0 minutes of the second. Serriors Greg Muth and Dustin Ballard each.added 1l poinb tb the 'Runners effort Each time Meho scored, iB supportem got a lifile louder. The fans erupted when the Roadrunnen tied the ganre at 67 witr l:17 to play. It was the ffnal time Meho would score. ' Northem State used free throwr to seal the victory.
